    Hello,

     

    Thanks for trying out Visio custom visual.

    The diagram must be saved in OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Online. Open the file in browser and copy that URL, it must contain WopiFrame.aspx in it.

     

    Regards,

How to do save the Visio template with WopiFrame.aspx in it. I tried putting WopiFrame.aspx directly behind the name of the file name. I still get the URL is not configured correctly.

Steps:

1. Save Visio diagram to OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Online.

2. Launch browser and go to the location where you have saved the diagram (SharePoint document library or OneDrive list). Now click on the diagram and it will render in browser itself.

3. Notice that the web address now has WopiFrame.aspx and now copy the entire web URL/address.

4. Paste that in Visio custom visual

      Thanks for trying this out. Can you confirm if there is no space before and after the URL? 

      For a deeper engagement, can you send an email to tellvisio@microsoft.com ?
